How much do you want a "Castlevania Maker"?

After Metal Gear Survive and EROTIC VIOLENCE, I'd really rather they just left the franchise alone... 

The point of the thread is to know how much you would want a Castlevania BY Konami though.

10 if it comes to PC.

Edit: Noticed the Konami afterwards. Their old 2D games were fine. My urge have fallen too since. But I would check it out, build 10 levels and be done with it.

I agree with DaNastyMan.
I can forgive Konami if Super Bomberman R is a sign of a better future.
But if they are not willing to do anything worth buying.

Then I'm not sure.

I think the biggest idea here is:
I would like to see them trying.
But if it's not good, then I wouldn't want to buy it.
If they are willing to put quality games, I'm willing to buy them.
Otherwise... no.

0 for me as well. I prefer to see complete single player games. Super Mario Maker is fun for 5 minutes or maybe more, but the level editor is suitable for Mario, it is like a child’s playground and can be fun. CV is better left alone now, anyway. We have Bloodstained coming out. Maybe some day Konami will ask IGA to make another CV, but still I would want a normal game, not a level editor.

Not quite, but instead a redone Harmony of Despair or sequel with customization and mods on Steam.

So basically, there's still a core playable game there, and only the truly dedicated and creative make the new levels and content rather than a flood of mediocre stuff and no main game...which is what I imagine happening with just a Castlevania maker.

Where did you hear that?

I'd be happy if they just released the GBA (and DS too, if possible) titles onto the virtual console (and the virtual console be released on the Switch too...). 

The problem with Konami is not only not making Castlevania games.
But just not really making games anymore.
Except for mobile and pachinko (of which they make a lot), they barely do anything at all.

Capcom prioritizes some series over others right now, however, they still make games, and if there is demand and support for a series (money), it is likely that they will do it, and if it works the series has a chance of being revived.

Same with SEGA and Nintendo, and most companies in general.

With Konami in its current state, it's hard to find hope, because they barely care about anything that is not pachinko or mobile.
That's the problem, sure Super Bomberman R happened... but it has been a long while already, I'm not sure if it's sign of things to come.

I have no hope about it...

The future of this series lies on fanworks at the moment (similar to a certain famous Capcom series).
And we can only enjoy the past of what once was.
If Konami ever decides to be even a shadow of its former self (because they're not even that anymore), then I can imagine a possibility.

I avoid trying to dream too much about such a thing, because it's tempting to disappoint me.
So unless there is any proof of it, I will probably remain sceptical about it.

MorningSun You just reminded me that the Okami re-remaster is not coming to the Switch, I really feel like Capcom are missing an opportunity there!

If I were asked this 10 years ago I would have had a small bit of faith that Konami might consider the idea. In their current state, I don't trust Konami to do anything. In fact, I would wager that if a talented developer pitched the idea, Konami would shut it down and sit on the IP just because that sounds like something they would do.

Although, I notice that I didn't actually answer the question directly posed by the OP.

If Konami really is serious about producing an actual "Castlevania Maker" using assets from only the "Classicvanias" (even if it includes none from the Metroidvania-style games; even CotM), then I'd say a solid 8 from me.
